Floods, fires, tornados, any or all. As far as we’ve seen, we’re the only country in the world that responds to environmental disaster by brandishing the flag. Like the hit, somehow, is hardwired to nationalism.

When so many allowed to own homes & property w/out flood insurance on the frontlines of the #climatecrisis. 49.5% in FL floodplain, TX 32%, AL & GA ~ 20%. So much focus on disaster—policy, global heating not so much. #FortMeyers #Ian

No greater irony than these climate-supercharged storms decimating the gas stations (like we said last month about that pic from CO). What a staggering failure to connect the dots. #climatecrisis
